G42, the Abu Dhabi-based global technology group and a leading champion of Responsible AI, today announced a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Credo AI, a pioneer in AI governance and trustworthy AI solutions. Signed on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of Responsible AI practices across the Global South, where rapid AI expansion is occurring alongside varied regulatory landscapes, institutional capacities, and societal priorities.
As AI adoption surges globally, both organizations recognize that innovation and governance must advance together. In the Global South, where AI can drive economic and societal transformation, trust is essential to accelerate deployment, ensure ethical outcomes, and maximize positive impact.
G42 has established itself as a leader in Responsible AI through practical demonstrations of secure, transparent systems at national and global scale. Credo AI has defined the AI governance category since 2020, providing enterprises and governments with tools to manage risk, enforce controls, and align with international standards.
Together, the partners will design adaptable governance approaches, risk monitoring solutions, and capacity-building programs that empower policymakers, enterprises, and professionals to implement Responsible AI effectively in diverse contexts.
“AI innovation and AI governance must advance together,” said Dr. Andrew Jackson, Group Chief AI Officer at G42. “When trust is engineered into the system from the start, innovation accelerates, deployment is smoother and adoption happens faster at scale. Building on G42’s experience of deploying AI at a national and global scale, this partnership with Credo AI is about accelerating trusted AI so innovation can move faster, adoption can be responsible, and AI can deliver meaningful impact across economies and societies.”
“Enterprises scaling AI need more than ambition — they need speed with control, and governance they can measure,” said Navrina Singh, CEO of Credo AI. “Our partnership with G42 gives organizations across the Middle East and Global South the capability to deploy AI faster, govern it at scale, and turn responsible adoption into genuine competitive advantage. This matters even more as AI becomes agentic. When your AI is making autonomous decisions, the enterprises that govern it best will be the ones that deploy it furthest and fastest.”
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to responsible, inclusive AI progress that serves diverse populations and strengthens global competitiveness.
